Lyrics Year of the Dog - Pagan

Year of the Dog

Once bitten, yeah, and twice as shy now
There’s a dog that’s in my room all night
It sneaks in while I try and sleep in
When I wake its sent is left lingering
I know
How this will end before it’s been written
And this story has a
Start, a middle and a start, a middle and
I pre-empt the worst is yet to happen
And I know how this is bound to end
Twice bitten, now I’m not so shy, no
But I dare not to speak my mind
So I’ll create narratives in my head
'Cause I will not speak to you instead
(Dare not show emotion, need not make a sound)
(There are chinks in my armour, dare not let my guard down)
(Dare not cause a ripple, need not make you sick)
(A tiny splash in your ocean, dare not fucking sink)
(Nor swim, oh)
The dog barks, but it never cries
It just scratches on my door at night
The dog barks, but it never cries
It just scratches on my door at night
Will wash on over me
And I’m in my bead now lonely
A hot flush washes over me
'Cause you’re no longer here to fill me up
I know how this
How this will end before it’s been written
And this story has a
Start, a middle and a start, a middle and
I know how this
How this will end before it’s been written
And this story has a
Start, a middle and a start, a middle and
I pre-empt the worst is yet to happen
And I know how this is bound to end
